Out of the mouth of babes...

I think I got that saying right. However it goes, something happened today that made me think of that for sure.

So I'm teaching Bible class, and we're studying the disciples, one by one. Right now we're on James the brother of John, and how they are both referred to as Boanerges, meaning Sons of Thunder. Anyway, I asked the question, "Why did Jesus come into the world?" and the students had verses they were looking up to find the answers in Scripture.

The first girl (let's call her Susie) was looking up John 3:17.

Me: So why did Jesus come into the world? Susie, read your verse.
Susie: "I have no husband..."
Me: Wait a second Susie, are you sure you're on the right verse?
Susie: Oh, I was on John4:17. Whoops.
Sheila: Jesus had no husband? Jesus is gay?

So much for teaching on James today. The whole class erupted with laughter and I had to repair the damages caused by Sheila putting that idea into anyone's mind, regardless of the fact that she was joking.

My, my, my. Mrs. Mean Green had to come out. Who is that, you may ask? Take a look:
